They don't care about pollution either. The people might, but not the Republican law makers whom are getting paid by big oil, coal and gas lobbies.
Just look at the Texas deal with fracking. The actual Texas state railroad commission whom is in charge of drilling in Texas was just caught outright lying about findings of a well that contaminated ground water.
Just 2 days ago again with fracking, it was released that Pennsylvania's health dept was told to ignore anyone whom called asking about health related issues and fracking and they were specifically told not to return calls of people calling about fracking related issues.
Then look at coal. The right non stop bitches about anything at all that is attempted to ween us off coal or oil for that matter. In Louisiana, the governor signed a bill into law that stops any lawsuits for damages by big oil's pollution of the coast lines.
These things all go on and on and there are countless examples and behind almost all of them is Republican support. The simple fact is, if it harms big business in any way as in cutting profit, Republicans have shown time and time again by their actions that they will allow the pollution to continue.
They don't care as long as it's not in their back yard.
